Hirsute Nonsense
OK. So they set up facial recognition. Next thing you know they'll be worried about how easy it is to defeat it.
Solution: you'll need a special licence for whenever you want to change your hairstyle, grow side-burns, or heaven forbid a full-beard.
They'll probably work out the complexity in having to do all the extra processing of your image & work out a range of licence fees. It could be a good little money-spinner for the government. Maybe:
£50 -New Hairstyle
£100 -New/ removed Moustache
£150 -New/ removed Sideburns
£200 -New/ removed Goatie
£500 -New/ removed Full beard
& maybe a bargain of only £10 if you want to do smaller changes such as wear lipstick, mascara, or tweak your nose hair.
I propose we subvert this system, & all start a new fashion for growing long hair, combed down over the face. It should also piss off all those CCTV operators that like to record our every movement in public.
But sorry Baldies, I guess there's no place for you in our new masterplan.
